Hi

I also received a further mail which pointed out that '-d' is a bad idea as
no backout is possible!!

I also figured out it was the CD creation which converted the '-' in the
filename to '_'

Original Summary
-----------------

Firstly thanks to all who replied with varying ideas, too many to list I am
pleased to say.

My original problem was that a patch (.zip file) I had downloaded would not
install. A few suggested

"patchadd -d patch_directory_path"

which did not work because I had unzipped it on a windows system before
writing the CD and the directory was 108528_13 which was created.

The following did work

Hi,

Copy that 108528_13.zip file to /tmp

Go to /tmp dir
unzip 108528_13.zip

then try patchadd 108528-13

/Gayantha

The reason was the zip file had '_' and the expansion had '-' in the patch
name, simple mistake with weird results.

Thanks.

Peter
